Plaques with team photos from her days as a coach hang on a wall in Dawn Crim’s office on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.
But today her office is not nearly as plush as the modern digs she had at the state-of-the-art Kohl Center a decade ago when she was the top assistant under then-UW women’s basketball coach Jane Albright. Instead, she works out of the basement of aging Bascom Hall, with her office sitting directly below that of Chancellor Carolyn “Biddy” Martin.
Crim, a native of Philadelphia and former University of Virginia basketball standout, was named the new special assistant to the chancellor for community relations in December.
